Plot: If you look up Okamura on the internet (a mysterious samurai who is said to chop off your head in one clean sweep), he'll appear right in front of you and kill you on the spot. People become obsessed with the phenomenon and all non-believers end up dead within minutes of their attempt to debunk the story.

A mix of Japanese horror elements. The premise is reminiscent of Ringu (and its many copycats), while the execution made it feel more like a subdued Sushi Typhoon project. There are some fun moments, but it's a bit too amateurish on one hand, and not quite crazy enough on the other to leave a strong impression.
It's a pretty decent attempt to marry two opposing sides of the Japanese horror genre (less is more meets maximalism), but you're not getting the best of both worlds here. There's no real tension, and the gore is a bit simple and repetitive. There's some quirkiness that helps keep things interesting and the short runtime is pleasant, but it's far from a future horror classic.
